Is it reasonable to keep more than 1 species together? If so, does anyone have recommendations as to compatible species?

This is an on-going argument among dart keepers and zoo keepers. It had been discussed over and over on this forum as well as in other forums. If you are considering your first darts and have to ask the question about mixing or combining them, the answer is decidedly "No," don't mix them. You need to learn about and enjoy, and successfully keep each speci alone, before you even consider mixing or combining them. It CAN be done, but not without a lot of space and understanding of the species you are mixing together.

On my own strictly hobbyist terms, I don't mix. I have a hard enough time keeping track of all the frogs in their separate habitats without combining them yet. I've only been raising them for six years, so am a neophyte. However, I've successfully kept them with few losses that are mostly due to escapes, (my own stupid carelessness,) one injury, one unexplained, but nothing due to disease, parasites or inappropriate habitat.
